Patricia and Pat,

You can buy the Turning Twenty books at Hancock Fabrics or go to the author’s website and order from her as well. Trisa Cribbs is the one designed the quilt patterns. Her web site address is friendfolks.com

Dee,
Thanks for your response. I am kind of like you with not liking the scrappy look but somehow the Turning Twenty works. What a great idea embrodering images for the feature blocks. I hope I get to see it.

Never say never! “Never” was my attitude about Turning Twenty quilts. I’m not a “scrappy quilter.” I want something with some order and a design that flows. Then I saw Turning Twenty Around the Block in a black/white/red combination of fabrics when I attended a Hancock retreat in March 2008 in Iowa. I bought the kit Hancock was offering and a week later the quilt top was done, three weeks later it was back from the quilter, now it is on the guest room bed. My only regret is that I don’t have a long enough rod to hang it on. Now I’m collecting red/white fat quarters so I can make another one. For this one I am going to put machine embroidered images of sewing machines done in redwork in the blocks. I might frame the blocks with a variety of brights. Now that will be pushing my acceptance of scrappy but the frames are narrow so I can probably tolerate it. After all…never say never.

I love your blog, Sheila. What a great tool for Hancock’s marketing program and their education program.
